pwnage?!

[equk]

I'm not sure where this came from but here's a poll

 

[Toxcity]

Frag made it!

 

[equk]

What poll?

you were too quick

 

[FragTek]

Answer is A FTW Kind of a lame reason we all say pwnage really, but it's all in fun eh?

 

[JN]

It was actually because during gaming sessons people would accidentally miss the O key and hid the adjacent P key. And thus pwnage was born.

 

[equk]

Pretty lame reason

But it shows how much people are controlled (maybe sub-consciously) by Conformity.

QFT!

Isn't that option A? hehe

 

[equk]

QFT!

Surely that's answer A?

Someone voted answer C and is not taking it seriously

 

[Rastalovich]

Sorry eq, that was most likely me >.<

I was only quick cos I seen this asked so many times.

 

[equk]

We must form a united front against this mis-spelling the whole community of gamers are looking like uneducated fools

I thought I'd post it to make people think about it tho really, as I've seen that mis-spelled word used quite a lot on here and even more in games. (the funny thing is it's almost as if some people don't even realise it's mis-spelled)

 

[Mr. Popo]

Perhaps cause it's a combination of ownage and pounded?

 

[FarFarAway]

I don't think we do, just this is an informal environment and non-standard English is the tone that is accepted here

That's fine by me tbh

PWNAGE :ar:

"I gave u a real pounding there .... pwnage"

I guess you could use it in any context as it has no definition and isn't a word

I read this like last year, it originated from online games. I think Quake 4 or something, in gaming, people kept missing the "o" and put a "p"

Why not "iwnage" or "lwnage"?

Wouldn't be Quake 4, much earlier
